Abstract
Once hydrocyclones are designed for given grinding-classification circuits, desliming, dewatering and other purposes, it is necessary to consider all the elements that make up the hydrocyclone system: pulp feeding tank volume and geometry, connecting pipes, pulp distributors and instrumentation. In this section we will present a general description of the necessary characteristics of the different components of the hydrocyclone system and give an example of a comminution-classification circuit in a copper concentrator.
